 NG12: Scaling and Prediction of Climate Extremes and Regime Transitions

 Description:

 This session seeks contributions concerning modeling and observational
 studies of multiscale Climate processes including Hydrometeorology and
 Hydrology defined broadly (e.g. from global to regional scale down to
 cloud formation and precipitation, runoff, groundwater and streamflow)
 which have a direct impact on predictability of extreme events (heat
 waves, floods, droughts) and regime transitions. Studies over a wide range
 of temporal and spatial scales including nonlinear models, scaling
 analysis, multifractals and cascades are encouraged. Papers focusing on
 the detection and fingerprinting of scaling behavior associated with model
 boundary conditions, threshold physics, and model or observing system
 structure are welcome.
